Comments/Reviews

I am planning to put my son in Primus School.I could see the above reviews but they look pretty old.I request parents to provide their latest feedback on this school whose kids are already going to Primus school.

I am looking for the latest feedback about Primus Public School. I have visited the school, and was happy with the way the staff and administration interacted with me, but would like to know if the school is living up to the expectations and the amount of fees being paid is not in vain. I am particularly looking for a simple environment which will give the child space to grow use their own abilities to learn and explore. Basically would like to see my children happy to go to school everyday and not afraid to interact with their teachers. My son will be in 1st standard next year.
Any feedback and comments are appreciated.

**Love Primus** We moved to Bangalore from Chicago in 2012 and we admitted our son to Primus in August for LKG. The admission process was hassle free and the school had no “hidden” fees. We were planning to change his school this year to a more popular school (We DID NOT…he is still in Primus). However, by the end of our son’s LKG, we realized we had gotten to really like Primus. In his short time there, my son had managed to complete tons of fun workbooks, participated in sports day, number of festivals and events and even managed a field trip. They even had a rock concert at school.
The teachers, principal and even the board of directors are very approachable. Overall, we think this school is sincere, hard working and fun loving. We wish Primus all the very best and hope they continue to focus on the kids rather than money.

Hi I am a student at Primus for the last two years and I am extremely proud to be a student here. The staff of the school is extremely approacheable for parents and students alike and are extremely patient. The teachers are absolutely brilliant and understand us (the students) really well. I was in another school (Indus Intl) before and this school is alot better in most ways. The administration is extremely clear, and efficient, and they will be happy to sort out any queries you, a parent or student may have. The school road has been totally fixed and tarred. This is a hands down great school and i’d recommend it.

Hi,
We are moving to bangalore this July from US. My kids go to 5th and LKG.It would be of great to know from any parent whose kids attend Primus. I would like to know the pros and cons about the school, teaching methodology etc. Any comparison between Primus and inventure,Greenwood High would also help. Thanks!

Vibgyor is a good school. The only concern is their fee is rather high (almost 2X DPS or Primus), plus they have no sports ground or space at the Haralur road branch. Other than that, teachers and staff seem to be quite good and learning is also fantastic.

Hi
I am planing to put my daughter in Primus School,off Sarjapur road.I could see the above reviews but they look pretty old.I request parents to provide their latest feedback on this school whose kids are already going to Primus school.

Hi,
I am planning to put my kid in Primus.
1. Would like to know how is the school,
2. How is the teaching method ,
3. Is individual attention given to every student in Nursery ,
4. Are the teachers Co-operative
5. How is curricular and extra curricular activities

Am currently in US , coming to India next week and want to know about the 8th grade admission in Primus IGCSE syllabus..any parents with their kids going to 8th grade in Primus?? want to know the curriculum details and want to know also any other option than hindi as a second language? My son was studying till 5th grade in ICSE syllabus in India International school bangalore.

We admitted our kids to this school based on the nice talk from the management. However, we found that they do not complete the portions; they did not teach anything much for almost 3 months from Nov to Jan due to various functions and events; they do not care about individual students and only focus on the whole class – if your child picks up, s/he picks up. Overall, there is a big gap between the experience of the school when you talk to the management vs. when your kid goes through the education. We have moved out our kids now.

Primus – Teachers are very friendly and interact with the children very well.
Teaching – more hands on should be added, sports needs to be improved,
Admin staff is very good and if possible will accomodate parents requests.
Sanjoy Choudhary is good and if requests are made, then he tries to accomodate
requests.

But the approach road to Primus from Sarjapur road is extremely bad and that is one of the major concerns I have for kids travelling to and fro everyday
to that school.

currently, my kids son and daughter both are going to Primus in Kindergarten. Recently, I am having unpleasant experience with Primus Bus facility. One day My kids were dropped 100ft away from my apartment on the road and maid in my apartment happen to see my kids and brought them home. Also, there is bus break down twice in the last 3 months or so. One time when bus broke down, I was literally waiting for the bus for 1 hour and after an hour driver never stopped the bus infront of my apartment but he stopped the bus on the main road where there is busy traffic and I had to take my kids in bike to the bus and cross the road.

Major problem, it is not convenient to drop the kids myself is road is horrendoous leading to school and It takes couple of hours atleast by the time I drop them and come home and all our plan for the day goes haywire.

I reported to Mr. Sanjay Chowdary, Bus Co-ordinator regarding the problems, but he is rude.

We would we relocating to Bangalore next year. Is Primus a good school?. Also how far is it from White field? I saw in the website that admissions begin the previous October? Is it easy to get admissions. Is Kannada compulsory?

I would like to know parents feedback on how well the teachers interact with the children.
Also how does the school deal with inappropriate behaviour of any child.
What is the importance given to social interaction among children.
It would be of great help if anybody whose child has been going this school could respond to this query.

The approach road to Primus is very very bad. Our kids will surely face health problems during later years if they travel in this kind of road everyday. They don’t have enough play area as advertised and the school is not so clean. My primary concern is my kids health. Pregnant ladies please don’t try going to the school.

Is there an option to choose ICSE or IGCSE when the students reach 9th grade.
Could someone whosechild is in this school give a feedback on the school?
I have almost decided on Primus but would like hear more by MAy 2010.

We are planning to relocate to Bangalore in May 2010. My kids will go into 4th and 1st grades . Would like to see more parent reviews about this school.
Although the website says that the total strength of a class is 35 , I see very few numbers in class photos.Hope it is ‘coz the school is fairly new.

Also most of the schools in Bangalore has a regional language influence when it comes to spoken English. I would like to know how that is handled in this school.

My child’s first term starts only on the coming 17th of June , hence I would not want to comment on the academics. Both me and my wife however had the same question and we were told they have picked the best practices from all schools of edn – Montessori/gurukul etc. Different children pick up at different subjects at different paces/speeds – so apparently the course is designed such that the students learn at their own pace – their progress is governed by their own learning curve and not so much by calendar years/terms. They therefore have a seamless integrated pre-school course where the child is exposed progressively to what they can handle. Personally, I am going to be very keen in observing how they manage the whole thing!

May I suggest that all parents interested pay a visit to the school. You will get first hand info on everything.

Hi Menon,
After seeing many other schools, we too plan to become a part of primus school now. As it is one of the most important decision of life, I would be glad if you can help us with your first hand expereince.. Also is switching over the boards from 8th to 10th and then again 12th is not a matter of concern for you or others in the same boat. Please guide us. Thanks

Just wanted to check how your child in LKG is going at Primus ? I am looking at admitting my child for UKG, however am concerned that they have a common Kindergarten room for Nursery, LKG and UKG. Just wanted to know how they manage curriculum for all three age groups ?
Thanks,
San

We were relocating to Bangalore and went looking around ALL the schools in and around Sarjapur Road for admissions into LKG & 1 st Grades for our daughters. We landed in Primus by default – We had been to all the other schools (vibgyor, Gear, Greenwood etc etc ) and decided to take a look at one last school – Prakriya – off Sarjapur Road. They are supposedly good in academics but we found children of lower classes were being made to sit on extremely dirty and dust covered floors. We were heading back when we saw this neat building right next door – Primus Public School! Since it happened to be on the way , and much against my wife and children’s protestations (it was waaay past lunch time) we decided to just take a peek – a peek that lasted the next couple of hours!

The first thing that hit us was the palpable ‘happiness’ amongst the kids we saw. We were welcomed in and the coordinator Ms.Radha patiently explained everything to us. She took us around every part of the school. We met some teachers, saw their facilities. All of us immediately commented on how confident the children we saw were – they were not timid or hesitant to interact – and seems extremely cheerful and full of life! We saw quite a few expatriate children there as well. The founder member Mr. Vasanth , who happened to be around, then spent the next hour with us telling us about the philosophy and the ideals behind the school. We found the fees extremely reasonable too (40k per year).

Where were the children ? – they had hit their beautifully manicured play ground within five mins of our arrival and were having a whale of a time – it almost seemed like they had made their ‘choice’. (They have lovely, fully manicures grounds, with football, basketball, throw ball, cricket nets and I forget what else)

Was there a choice? – NO! We paid up on the spot (no admission tests)! So did this other parent who was only accompanying us – her children were already in Greenwood High – she pulled them out and put them here! On the way out we met another couple who were pulling their children out of Greenwood high and into this school.

We subsequently (and very very coincidently) met a couple of other parents who had pulled their children out of Ryan International – and had been studying in this school for over two years – they were singing paeans of the school.

Too early to comment about the academics – but the parents of existing students tell us that the children have fun learning! As far as we were concerned that is exactly what we were looking for!

Anyone looking for a school in and around Sarjapur Road – this school is WELL worth a visit!

This will be the school to watch out for in the future!
